Cloudera Enterprise 5.3 is Released by Justin Kestelyn.
From the post:
We’re pleased to announce the release of Cloudera Enterprise 5.3 (comprising CDH 5.3, Cloudera Manager 5.3, and Cloudera Navigator 2.2).
This release continues the drumbeat for security functionality in particular, with HDFS encryption (jointly developed with Intel under Project Rhino) now recommended for production use. This feature alone should justify upgrades for security-minded users (and an improved CDH upgrade wizard makes that process easier).
Here are some of the highlights (incomplete; see the respective Release Notes for CDH, Cloudera Manager, and Cloudera Navigator for full lists of features and fixes):
…
You are unlikely to see this until after the holidays but do pay attention to the security aspects of this release. Ask yourself, “Does my employer want to be the next Sony?” Then upgrade your current installation.
Other goodies are included so it isn’t just an upgrade for security reasons.
Enjoy!
